Great. Now tell us how to protect shipping in the rest of the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden.
The large naval presence mentioned in my above post.

The US doesn’t get much of of its trade from freight/oil carriers originating from the Persian gulf.
Why do we need to push the issue at risk to us troops if it’s not needed. Iran not able to sell the bulk of its oil is killing its currency. Without its petro exports I’d will have a hard time paying for its imports.
Time is not on Irans side…..

They’ve moved their getaway money to the Russo-Sino banking system.

Irrelevant. The economy is tied to global oil prices.

Iran currently controls the strait of Hormuz for all intents and purposes. Time is absolutely on their side.

Iran is sending most of their oil to China anyway. It’s more work but they could get it to them by land and got to imagine they can via Afghanistan.

No way they are moving near the same volume like that.

Nope but I imagine they’re selling to many of the landlocked Asian countries too.

Every demand is always headlined with removing frozen assets, that tells you they are in a severe vice grip, when they have been missing payments to the military, it must be getting really tight. Interestingly, it’s probably not just Iranian assets, but their own personal ones as well. Listen to what Bessent says when he cryptically talks about leverage.

I think you are right.

I noticed that also but chose not to respond.
I did find this interesting though:

What? If that’s true why aren’t they sending their oil tankers through it?

They are bringing in no oil money as long at the blockade exists.
Time is not on their side at all. It's sliding away like sand through an hourglass that looks strangely like Hormuz.

Neither is anyone else. Driving up oil prices worldwide. Iran has effectively shut down the most economically important waterway on the planet with the threat of cheap drones and missiles. We could stop it if we wanted to but it would come at a price that clearly the administration isn’t willing to pay. Time is absolutely on Iran’s side. They’re just waiting us out under the guise of negotiations.
Send the navy into the strait. Put ground troops on the island and increase the bombing campaign. Then time will no longer being on Iran’s side.

The fact that yall think Iran cares about money when it comes to the US and Israel is laughable. Their hate for us is far greater than their need for money. They arent going to give in over money.

The biggest problem in American geopolitical strategy is now the people running this country don’t understand that not everyone thinks like an American, motivated like an American, etc. edit: this was a problem before trump, so don’t think I’m singling out your special boy. It pervades everything.

Exchanges of fire between Iran and the US in the Gulf over the past 24 hours:
??4 Iranian drones were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz - and were intercepted by US military forces.
??In response, the US military attacked radar sites on the coasts of Iran "to defend against further naval attacks."
??In response to that - Iran launched 7 ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain - 6 of them were intercepted and the seventh did not hit its target. According to CENTCOM, no American personnel were injured and the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain was not damaged.

They dont “care” about money but they do care about that need to do with it. Pay and fund militias, pay their soldiers etc. resources for fighting. yes they will not succumb just because things get tight but things being tight will definitely ratchet up pressure on them and deprive them of things they need to conduct effectively.
